Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. "It seems the injury to your head has caused you to lose your memory!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's gaze dimmed slightly as he tried his best to recall who he was. However, as soon as Li Changfeng tried to remember, his head began to throb with pain, making him extremely uncomfortable and preventing him from thinking any further.
Seeing this, Doctor Bai slowly said, "Don't think about it anymore! Just rest now! Once you're healed, pay me back the money!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "That's the only way!"
Seven days later.
After receiving acupuncture treatments from Doctor Bai, Li Changfeng's headache had disappeared, and he was even able to get down and walk. However, he still couldn't remember anything. His brain was covered by a cold, dark aura, and his head was a mess. He felt a sharp pain whenever he tried to think about anything, so he dared not think about anything further.
Upon seeing this, Doctor Bai's eyes narrowed. "Young man! I can tell you're no ordinary person. You've survived such severe injuries, but I can't detect any abnormalities in your meridians or your internal energy. They're all murky. Could you examine your internal organs?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, and slowly examined himself. He found that his body was murky and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, so he could not see anything. However, Li Changfeng could still feel that his meridians were twisted and cracks were faintly appearing.
It felt as if a force within his body was slowly healing the injuries to his meridians, but he couldn't detect it or activate it on his own.
"I can't sense anything either; there's complete stillness inside my body!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai pondered deeply. "It seems your internal injuries haven't fully healed. Since you can't perceive your internal condition, there's nothing I can do to help you. You'll have to rely on yourself!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "That's the only way!"
"Now that you can move around freely, go and help me clear that patch of land on the hilltop!"
"Okay! I'll go right now!" Li Changfeng picked up a hoe and headed towards the hilltop.
As Li Changfeng passed through the village, he happened to run into the women who had rescued him. "Hey! Aren't you the seriously injured man lying on the shore? You're all better now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng asked with a puzzled expression, "Who are you...?"
A pretty woman smiled and said, "My Chen Xiaocui, you can just call me Xiao Cui. We're the ones who rescued you!"
Then, Xiao Cui introduced these sisters to Li Changfeng, "These are Xiaohong, Cuihua, and Xiaoting. They saved you back then too!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng immediately understood and said gratefully, "Thank you all so much for saving my life! Please feel free to ask me anything, and I will do my best to help!"
Cuihua's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Wow! You're quite the writer! I can tell you're from town, otherwise you wouldn't be able to speak so eloquently!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng scratched his head and said with a faint smile, "Is that so? I don't really think so!"
When Xiaohong saw the hoe on Li Changfeng's shoulder, she laughed and said, "Doctor Bai made you work so soon? That's harsh!"
Xiaoting covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's very much in line with Doctor Bai's behavior! But he's just being tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He won't keep asking you about it after a while!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head, "It's alright! I'm better now! I should do the work for him to repay his medical fee! After all, he saved me, so it's only right that I pay him back!"
Xiao Cui's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "It seems you're better! In that case, why don't you carry our things up the mountain?"
Li Changfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this, "A willing act!"
After saying that, he picked up their belongings and strode up the mountain. The women were slightly taken aback. They had only meant to make a joke, but they didn't expect him to take it seriously!
Hey! Don't walk so fast! Wait for us, we'll walk together. By the way, we don't even know your name yet!
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a bitter smile, "I don't even know my own name, I've lost all my memories!"
"Oh! How pitiful! But it's alright, everyone in our village is very kind. You're strong and healthy, so you can live here from now on!"
"Hmm! That's fine! I have nowhere to go right now!"
"Hehe! How about we give you a name?"
Li Changfeng looked surprised upon hearing this, then laughed and said, "Alright then!"
"Let's Xiao Qiang! It suits you perfectly!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng frowned. "Xiao Qiang? Then let's go with Xiao Qiang!"
On the mountain.
The soil here was extremely hard, and some strong men were struggling to plow the fields. It took them three strokes to barely break a patch of soil. In the past, only Doctor Bai paid people to grow medicinal herbs here, but now many farmers have come.
This place isn't bad for growing crops, but it's very hard work. The good land has been taken by landlords, who have raised the rents considerably, forcing them to cultivate land here, which is extremely difficult.
Li Changfeng arrived at a wasteland, picked up a hoe, and with a bang, Li Changfeng forcefully dug three feet into the wasteland, breaking the hoe in two. He stared at the broken hoe with a look of astonishment.
"This hoe is so brittle! This is a problem, what should I use to hoe the field?!"
The commotion startled many farmers, who rushed over to investigate. "Wow! He actually broke the hoe in one go and even dug three feet into the hard earth! That's terrifying strength, kid!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile. "Everyone! Do you have any new hoes? Could we borrow them?"
The crowd looked on with suspicion. "Kid! I do have a hoe, but I'm afraid you'll break it again!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! I definitely won't cut it off this time!"
A shrewd farmer chuckled and said, "Young man! If you weed that plot of land for me, I'll lend it to you!"
Without hesitation, Li Changfeng agreed and started hoeing the ground again. This time, he didn't dare to use brute force and hoeed carefully.
